That’s the money raised and expenditures from October 1st to October 27th.

$6,500,000.00 (up to and including October 27th) of that $9,394,708.00 came from one entity, a PAC. The same PAC contributed another $1,500,000.00 on October 29th, past the reporting deadline. We have no idea who wrote the checks to raise money for the contributing PAC. Other contributions include a different PAC contribution of $500,000.00, a personal contribution of $500,000.00, a personal contribution of $250,000.00 (from out of state) and a few other contributions in the $100,000.00 to $50,000.00 range.

That’s not particularly grassrootsie, but it does pay [pdf] for saturating the airwaves with banal ads.
